We had noticed that the leaves of the squash plants in The Three Sisters bed, move and turn with the sun and heat. Today I set up our 'scouting camera' in the veg patch and set it to take a photograph every 10 minutes. I've put together all 123 photos to make this movie.

The yellow patch at the front is in fact a flower with a tiny embryo squash attached. The growing season is so late this year, 4 ... maybe 6 weeks behind what it should be!I'm praying that we will have a warm and sunny autumn and the squash have time to mature.

I love reading all the comments (except for spam and advertising which I will delete) and I'll reply here in the comments under each blog post, it may take a few days if I'm busy.You don't need to have a blog to leave a comment, you can select the name/URL option and fill in just your name instead of a blog link.
